He's 6-8 IMO.

I have him at 5:

Matthews
Laine
Chychrun
Puljujarvi
Nylander

After Matthews this draft is going to be really interesting, I think the top five is very interchangeable depending on the team picking

If he keeps this up, I think he should be in top 5 at least. Yes I agree Matthews is a clear number one, but after that it is fairly open.

He was alot better then Tkachuk today.
 
Anyone that has seen him play for Mississauga would be not surprised with Alex Nylander thus far. I said earlier this year he could be potentially be the better than his brother. This is a compliment to him and how high he could be picked next summer. I see no reason to change my opinion today. He should only get better as the season moves fwd. He just has to guard himself of not getting fatigued late in the season.
 
He looks similar to William, but I don't think Alex is as good of a skater (first few steps acceleration, edges, top speed, etc) and as good of a playmaker as William. That's no slight to Alex since the older bro is elite in those facets

He does have a heavier shot though. If the Leafs draft him he could be the guy we're looking for in terms of a big point shot on the PP (along with being a potential top line winger ofcourse).

The other thing I notice is he plays bigger than William does. Not sure his exact measurements, but the way he looks now, I think strength is something he doesnt have to worry about.

Also, the reason we are talking about him maybe being better than his brother I think has partly to do with the fact that he is in the CHL this year. William played on 3 teams in his draft year, while Alex is putting up big junior numbers.
 
Call me crazy but I would take him before Puljujärvi, Chychrun and Tkatchuk. Not sure about Laine. But definitely at 2 or 3.

The saltiness in that facial expression is just so tasty :laugh:

I'm a redwings fan but I actually hope toronto drafts Alexander just to watch his and Timashovs awesome chemistry in the future! (His older brother can drop dead imo. What a diva!).

What did William ever do to make him a diva?
 
Alex looked like a better prospect than Tkachuk today. He looks quite strong and comfortable out there for a 17 year old. Playing himself into the top 5 thus far.
 
Man the way he scored that goal was almost a carbon copy of the goal his brother scored in the pretournament game last year against Canada. Can anyone bring up the video. Pretty soon we'll start calling it the Nylander move. :laugh:
 
One thing he does better than his brother is converting on breakaways. I've never seen William score on a breakaway but I've seen him miss maybe a million times.

They both use that move a lot.

Good to know idiot Wilson hasnt changed. I thought having several thousand fans chanting to him that he sucks at his job would've given him the hint that he needs to retire.

Just not a very classy act disrespecting a young swedish player that played hard and scored the game winning goal against his team. Just wish the Finnish fans would chant fire wilson in all the american games.
 
It's early but Alex Nylander leads the scoring derby between 3 top 5 picks IMO early on.

Nylander 1G 3A 4 points (game winner)
Matthews 1G 1A 2 points
Tkachuk 1G 1A 2 points

Fascinating to see who does the best as we go deeper in the tournament. I expect both teams to be around late in the medal rd.

He's actually got 5 points.
 
Timashov and Alex are showing great chemistry, you can't make a mistake with those two right now.
